| Wood Ducks, Hadley Cove, Hadley, MA, Mar 6, 2013 |
Despite today being rainy (and occasionally snowy) and raw with temperatures in the
mid 30’s I still managed to find a few birds of note. At 5:52 this morning at home I had a Winter
Wren singing over and over along the brook.
On my way to work near dawn I had a couple of male Wood Ducks, 87
Mallards, a few Black Ducks, three Common Mergansers and 400+ Canada Geese at
Hadley Cove. I also had a Rusty
Blackbird (#94) that was seen and
heard and then disappeared quickly to the northeast.
While at work I had a calling Fish Crow around the Clarke
School campus in the morning. The Fish
Crow became species #95 for the county this year.
On my way home I stopped at the Hadley Cove once again and
found the cove void of life. The winds had picked up a lot at this point and perhaps the birds had moved to a more protective spot.
